Power, dynamics and stress have an effect on family and marriage livelihood. Family and marriage examinations help therapists to identify relational developments, family developments and the stress factors involved. The therapists are able to determine the systemic aspects seen in a family relationship through establishing time for dialogical communications (Harold Goolishian, 1988). The studies can either be based on fictional prospects or scientific research. The relational theories and processes involved help in studying a particular connection among the family members. Through applying psychological hypothesis in the case study, it helps people to understand the different behaviors of people.
The sample used in the study consisted of 17 college students. The total broke down to being 12 females and 5 males. All of the students were enrolled in a public institution in the northeast. The students had parents who had gone through the divorce process while they were in college. The age range for the students was 19 through 23 and the median of the ages being 21. The school status of the
The last effect in children of divorcing parents is the academic failure. As a result of the parents getting a divorce, the child may stop becoming a good student and slide more towards the slacking behavior. They may stop participating in class and in group work, even passing time chatting with friends instead of doing school work. Sometimes students do this because they feel they can get even with their parents who are divorcing.They feel their parents should not be getting divorced. It changes all aspects of the children’s lives. And often children don’t believe their parents have had any consideration for them in the decision to divorce. Children also sometimes feel they are the cause of their parents decision to divorce. This results in the students decision to get an F in classes. The student hopes this failing academic behavior will awaken the parents to his or her needs instead of the parents thinking about only themselves.
The key research question in this study is what are the long term effects of parental divorce on a child’s relationship between their parents and their siblings? They took into consideration variables such as age of divorce, gender, and living arrangements so they can see what influence they may have on the present study results and compare it with previous studies. They gave 3 different surveys to 102 students with married parents and 107 students with divorced parents to be able to observe the differences in relationships between the two types of families. Some of the key findings of this study are that females actually have better adult relationships with their siblings and that divorce caused the children to have better relationships with their mother, and worse relationships with their father. They noted that the age when their parents got divorced was not a variable that affected whether or not they had a good relationship with their siblings. For the relationship between their mothers, it was better unless there was a variable of pre-divorce or post-divorce conflict between them. For their fathers, it showed that daughters had worse relationships with their fathers compared to sons. Living arrangements showed effects for both of the parents depending on which parent they lived with. When it comes to remarriage, it had a positive affect on mother-child relationship when the father got remarried and no affect when the mother was remarried.
Four areas of primary influence are: academic achievement, prosocial, internalizing problems and externalizing problems. Out of these four areas, academic achievement is most sensitive to family stress. Children from intact families often demonstrate higher mental aptitude than children from broken families. Compare to boys from intact families and girls from broken families, boys from broken families exhibit significantly poorer academic functioning. Boys from families which would subsequently divorce exhibit multiple behavioral problems prior to the divorce, which will naturally lead to poorer school functioning. One possible explanation for this is that boys may be more sensitive than girls to the events in home during the predivorce period. Interparental conflict might disrupt the parents’ attention to and monitoring of schoolwork. Poorly monitored boys, but not girls, have lower GPAs than adequately monitored boys and girls. Boys also perceive angry situations more negatively than do girls. In contrast to boys whose parents would divorce, girls showed a decline in GPA over the entire divorce period. One explanation for this is that puberty changes might have bigger effects on girls than on boys. The decline shown in girls across years may primarily have been a function of cumulative stressors. Furthermore, since the father is usually the one who leave the house, the absence of the male role-model makes it ever more difficult for boys to adjust to divorce. By late adolescence, (ages 15-18) teenagers are awakening to romantic relationships. The loss of parental love and the broken parental vows may cause children to find it difficult to make commitment to long lasting love, especially for boys. There are some evidences that children tend to show more problems if they are in the custody of a parent of the opposite sex than a parent of the same
When the supposed parent doesn’t give enough attention to the kids, such kids are prone to violent attitude. Even, some parent practically exposed to their kids to violence indirectly. An example is when a parent takes an underage for a gun show. Of course, such kids would want to use it one day. Parents who engage in domestic violence always have a negative impact on the kids. According to a research (Harold & Sellers, 2018), “Interparental quality is regarded as a major determinant factor in the life of a child and adolescent psychopathology. Recent research has highlighted that children are affected by attributes of interparental conflict, specifically how parents express and manage conflicts in their relationship, across a continuum of expressed severity and negativity – ranging from silence to violence.” The article further reveals evidences that children's emotional, behavioral, social, academic outcomes, and future interpersonal relationships are adversely affected by conflict between parents either divorced or still living together. The research article is based on Historical and it is a clinically oriented. Some parents believe that parenting has a duration, therefore, once their children attain a certain age little or no correction is required from them. Good parenting does not have a duration, rather, it is a continuous
According to the Sociology text, over four thousand persons aged 15 and over were reported a century ago where many had regarded divorce as a mark of personal failure. Also, the marks on the chart are determined by the divorce rate rose during World War II, when many couples were separated for long periods of time. By the 1950s rates had dropped below three thousand divorces and rose by 1985. These rates are notified to be tripled over the past century.
There are times when people, either students or parents don’t clearly understand the benefits of going to school. Some say that school is a waste of time since they waste their time in a place where they are not learning. Sometimes parents can’t do anything to help their student(s) because it could be that they grew up without an education and don’t understand the importance of having an education. For the benefit of the students schools should increase the engagement of parents into school activities. There are many ways in which students can benefit from changes made to their school. In order for the AUHSD to have an increase student's academic success is to have single-sex classrooms, the students mindset and, longer school years.
Throughout time, people from all over the world have chosen to live together, or “get married”. Marriage is a beautiful thing, but there are some couples who are unable to maintain their relationship, because they choose divorce as a solution to cope with the problems between husband and wife. Although divorce can be solution to cope with problem between the husband and wife, it still has dangerous effects especially on their children. Children with divorced parents are vulnerable to risk. Divorce has a dangerous impact on children. Divorce of parentss causes many problems to children. It causes children to have a loss of Knowledge, skills, and resources from parents, behavioral problems, emotional problem, and health problem
Children of divorce of all ages can see a change in their schoolwork. Most children see a decline in participation and see their grades slipping. Some young girls, however, tend to do more and become the "goody two shoes" of the class to feel a sense of belonging (Lytle 11). Seltzer believes, "Children's school behavior and achievement suffer, and these disadvantages may have long-term effects, reducing rates of high school graduation and years of schooling completed"(238). She supports her claim with statistics from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth stating, "[a]bout 29% of children from single-parent households drop out, compared to 13% of children from households with both original parents " (Seltzer 239). Long-term effects are not the only concern of researchers. There are many other factors that may turn into long-term effects but are mainly short-term factors. Anger and anxiety affect children more than most people realize. As Victoria Lytle assesses, "You'll find a rise in aggression on the playground, minor delinquencies, and difficulties in learning among boys [nine or ten years old]" (11). Lytle also addresses problems with attention spans by remarking that "[k]ids of divorce
Although needed in severe cases of abuse, divorce harmfully impacts, wives husbands and children. The lack of understanding of the primary nature of marriage has brought about a withdrawal from the institution of marriage. Parents need to slow on the uptake and proceed with care before the decision is made that divorce is the best solution for the child. Parents’ marital misery and friction harmfully affect their children’s happiness, comfort and security, but as does being subjected to going through a divorce. Children who are living in very high conflict and tension filled homes may be at an advantage by being detached from the conflicts. (Marriages that run at a lower level of upheaval, conceivably over two-thirds of divorces are of this kind; however divorce can make the children’s circumstances much worse on the heels of a divorce).
Conflicts which lead to unresolved issues can influence the quality of the marriage. Although several research was made on marital relationships, the factors which influence the arising of continuous conflicts are still not clear. Unresolved issues are problems which are continuously brought up in a marriage. However, marital conflicts are not the only source of unresolved issues in a relationship. Unresolved conflicts within the marriage can affect the longevity and quality of the marriage, but personal background and individual trauma contribute to marital problems more often than conflicts within the marriage. In fact, marital conflicts are usually started because of personal unresolved issues. If a person develops a behavioral property

Furthermore divorce is definitely on a rise. The effects of divorce can be detrimental to a family, but the causes of divorce can be just as bad.

The Journal of Youth and Adolescence manifests that divorce does not damage a child's existence as, "being exposed to conflict within the family in the form of arguments and violence is positively related to feelings of anger and depressed mood among adolescents" (LIRN). The various authors of this complex article attempt to clarify that there is a definite correlation between depression and anger as well as family conflict. The article distinguishes that divorce does not harm children but in actuality provides relief from continuous turmoil and an oppressive environment. This
